Have a grand time, Rollei folks. The Yule only comes once each
year, and this is my 62nd occurrence of it. And in three weeks, I turn 63.
You're just a young buck. I'm over 80 and I think Jerry can top that.
Here's what I posted on Facebook yesterday, and it's happening. (I'm
going to take pictures during the day, now up to 1" of snow).

Why I hate Bing Crosby
* He used to sing "White Christmas" all the time- We had only
1 when I was growing up here, 1943, but not enough to use a sled! :-(
He kept promising but never produced.
* Then we had the biggest of all in 2009.
* ...
* I looked it up and there were only 5 times between 1913 and
2011 with more than a "Trace" after Santa came.

* Here are key samples from the records for my dates of living here-
* Snow on Ground on Christmas Morning
* 1943 1 inch
* 2009 14 inches
* Now for the hot news- we expect to have as much as 10" by
mid day tomorrow.
* I sort of feel the same about Gene Autry. He kept promising
a reindeer with a glowing red nose. He never delivered-with or
without the red nose!
